EMACS screen weirdness
Hi All, I'm having weird problems with EMACS. I just installed Debian 1.2 (rex-fixed, actually, so that would be 1.2.15 at the time I snarfed it, methinks) -- a clean install, onto a fresh HD. As I recall, EMACS required some X library or other (I don't have X on my system), which seemed odd to me, but whatever. Also, I am using SVGATextMode (100 columns x 37 rows). I've been using a Slackware 3.0 system (kernel 1.2.13) up until now -- I've been flipping back and forth while setting up Debian over the past week. I've never had any problems with EMACS, SVGATextMode (though I use a different mode under Slackware), Linux in general, up until now. Basically, the display in EMACS gets garbled frequently. I.e., I'll either move or edit, and the cursor will go to the wrong place on the line, or else the line will get displayed incorrectly. Refreshing (control-L) usually fixes things, but occasionally I have to hit it twice before things are fixed. When editing Perl scripts, indentation looks okay *until* I refresh the display with control-L -- then things are screwy until I exit EMACS. (I first noticed when editing some Perl scripts, as I was trying to finish setting things up so that I could decommission my Slackware installation. . . .) Interestingly, though EMACS would visually undent lines, if I hit the End key, the cursor would go to where the endo of the line should be (disconcerting, since there was no text where my cursor was, so I was editing blind). The display gets messed up as a result of movement, editing, and plain ol' typing. All this makes me afraid to put this machine into production. It serves an important function to my company. Since this didn't happen with EMACS and SVGATextMode under Slackware, I figured I'd sak here in debian-user first, in case this was a known problem. Any clues? Is this a known problem, or could it be something about EMACS and SVGATextMode, or do you think my computer has just gone insane? ;) Thanks in advance!!!

Glitches during stable - frozen transition
Hi, debianians, martians and other sapiens ! i upgraded from stable to frozen just yesterday (got around 40M from debian including kernel-image 2.30) and discovered several glitches: 1. During booting time looks like there is no /proc/modules, while after login it's there. Still figuring out what's going on 2. Emacs 19.34 now gives me warning in minibuffer No /etc/mailname. Reverting to default... with a small but noticeable delay (2-3 sec) after the message. Should i create this file? What i have to put in it, my e-mail address ? 3. There is no /bin/tcsh link. Hmm... Removed tcsh, got new one from frozen and reinstalled. Again /bin/csh link is here but no /bin/tcsh. 4. GS-alladin forces me to install svgalib. Tried to remove svgalib and replace it with svgalib-dummy without any success. Look like some bug in dependencies. If somebody can put a light, i would be grateful...

Connecting to Novell network
I tried to follow this through the HOWTOs but I must have gotten lost. I've installed Debian on the computer at the office (the second place I installed it), connected to a Novell network with an SMC EtherPower card. The kernel is 2.0.27 with support compiled in for... Networking PCI bios TCP/IP networking IPX protocol Network device, Dummy net driver PPP SLIP Ethernet - EISA/VLB/PCI on-board controllers - DEC chip Tulip(dc21x4x) PCI NCP filesystem support proc filesystem support. I installed most packages in net, including the ncpfs package. On startup, the card seems to be recognized with the following message... eth0: smc9332 (DEC 21140 Tulip) at 0x1080, 00:00:c0:cc:ad:f9, IRQ 11. However, before I'm able to access the network drives, I'm told eth0 is down, as in the following exchange... debian# ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on debian# slist slist: No primary IPX interface found in ncp_initialize debian# ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 ipx_interface: Requested device (eth0) is down. Can something be missing? The ipx files under /proc are empty and I can't find an `ncp_initialize.' DOS and NT on the same machine connect to the network effortlessly, but I'd really rather do it from Linux. In a possibly unrelated matter, trying to pull down the Options menu in Netscape paralyzes the whole system. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect this is because the install routine expects the scsi boot device to be at location 0 (zero) and this is presently at 6, and the only device. do I have to move this hard disk to zero, and are there any problems with this? There is no SCSI requirement for having the boot SCSI drive to have id 0. My boot drive is drive 2 at work, and drive id 1 here at home. The controller will boot from the drive with lowest SCSI id, so you could not have any other drives if you want to boot from the drive with SCSI id 6. LILO (that lives on the boot sector of the drive with lowest id) can boot kernels on other drives than the one with lowest SCSI id. The root device also may be on other drives. This is my experience with aha154x and aha2840 controllers, and I believe, this is standard SCSI behavior.

xemacs-19.15p4 segfault on new frame -- xlib problem?
I recently upgraded to debian from redhat, and an interesting new problem has surfaced with xemacs. I use a scrpt with gnudoit to create new frames frequently. now when I run this script xemacs coredumps frequently, especially after it's been running for a while. When I look at the back-trace, the last instructions are in Xt stuff. Similarly I noticed a little hack I did of xcpustate to run without the label started coredumping. I hacked that a little more and it seems to be ok. However, it seems that the xlibs that come with debian are more sensitive to problems in the code and more likely to cause a segfault (?). The libs on my redhat system... well, geez. I don't know what they were. I switched them so many times--part of the reason I reinstalled was to get a clean system since I had mucked around so much with my old setup. One thing I'm noticing now is that I have a hodgepodge of R6.1 libs and R6.0 libs... e.g., libXt is 6.0, libX11 is 6.1... odd. I installed debian off the ftp site, which, iirc, means I should have the latest stable packages. I compiled xemacs-19.15p4 on my own. It is otherwise stable.

the main use i have for squid redirections here at home is to block out
irritating flashing banner advertisements :-). i have different uses for
it at other sites which is why i want this script to be fairly generic
My script works fine with URLs containing all of the above patterns, EXCEPT
for //.*riddler.com/Commonwealth/bin/statdeploy.*. At first I suspected
that i may have run into some size limitation in the db key but according to
both the documentation and other test scripts i have written that is not the
case. One of the test scripts just dumps the database in the same format as
the search replace statements in my working non-db version. except for
sort order, the output is identical to what's in my script.
In other words, it's almost certainly got nothing to do with perl's
database functions...it's something wrong with my comparison:
if (($url =~ /$key/))
Here's a test of the script. I've edited it slightly to put '***' in
front of what I typed.
$ squid.redir.db
***http://doubleclick.net/ad/12345.gif 203.16.167.2 - GET
http://doubleclick.net/ad/12345.gif==http://www.taz.net.au/blank_ad.gif

http://www.netscape.com.au/inserts/images/advert.gif==http://www.taz.net.au/blank_ad.gif
These two worked fine.
***http://riddler.com/Commonwealth/bin/statdeploy?12345.gif 203.16.167.2 - GET
http://riddler.com/Commonwealth/bin/statdeploy?12345.gif==
For some reason, this one didn't, i got blank line output
instead of the rewritten url.
here's what my squid.redir script currently looks like (it's gone through
several changes):
---cut here---
#!/usr/bin/perl
$debug=1 ;
use DB_File;
use Fcntl;
$|=1;
$redir_file = 'redir.db' ;

$found = 1 ;
} ;
} ;
if ($debug) {

}

I'm tempted to just give up and write it in C, but one of the purposes
of doing this is to improve my perl.
Any clues/suggestions/whatever would be appreciated. I need to get it
working first, and optimise it for speed after that.
thanks,

Kernel freeze during install
I am trying to install Debian-1.2.10 and the kernel freezes during bootup at the following point: [my BusLogic KT445C host adaptor is detected successfully as scsi0] Ux4F0: address 0x330 in use, skipping probe.

I have made two boot disks on brand new floppies and get the same behaviour. Here is a summary of my hardware: * BioStar VLB motherboard, 486DX2/66, 16MB RAM * BusLogic KT445C VLB SCSI card (io=0x330, irq=11, dma=7); Ricoh CD-R drive * ET4000 VLB video * Promise VLB EIDE controller, Fujitsu 2.5GB IDE drive, fd0 is 1.44MB * Soundblaster-16 (io=0x220, irq=7, dma=1/5) with sbpcd CD-ROM (io=0x230) * 3com 3C509 (io=0x300, irq=10) The copy of Debian is from the InfoMagic Linux Developers Resource April '97 edition, in directory /rex-updates/disks-i386/1997-01-18/ I know my system is OK because it runs Red Hat 4.1 without any problems, and all the peripherals work fine. I think it must be something to do with the monolithic Debian kernel and its hardware autoprobing. Can anybody suggest which bit of hardware might be causing the problem, and what boot parameters to give to stop the conflict? Thanks...

As I am not very skilled in this matter, Could anybody give the basics guidelines?. Many thanks in advance. Basicly you just have to run dselect whith 1.3's filetree as base. Most (all?) packages asks you if you want to replace the original config files, if you wish to overwrite them, a backup file is created, otherwise an side file with a new config file is created. This is correct except for 2 specific upgrades which will require manual intervention. I am not sure what the plan is for the final upgrade instructions but this is what I had to do. The first is the removal of the 'modules' package and the installation of the replacement 'modutils' package. In order to remove the old 'modules' package, it will be necessary to recompile the kernel (get the source package and the 'make-kpkg' package for this) WITHOUT module support. This means that as you do the confuguration of the kernel, you will have to compile in all the important drivers or else you will not have them. Once the new kernel is installed, you can reboot and proceed to dselect. NOTE: I consider this a serious flaw in the upgrade process, since it requires someone to know how to compile a kernel to do it. It might be bette to provide a kernel-image package just for this purpose and then another for after the upgrade is finished. The second is the replacement of TeX in the 1.2 version with the new teTeX distribution. The new distribution WILL not install unless you have manually removed all of the packages pertaining to the old Tex distribution. Fortunately, the scripts tell you what to do and what must be removed using the 'dpkg' command. Unfortunately, I have encountered cases where is is not trivial to force the removal of the old packages. I have had to go in and modify the latex.prerm script. This is again something that an inexperienced installer would have difficulty figuring out alone. I do not know if this is because I had a relatively old installation so I have not reported it as a bug. I will be doing further installations and upgrades soon so I will try to see if this is a consistent problem. Finally, a general suggestion. If you are running X, don't do the installation from an xterm. Go to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and login as root there. The 1.3 upgrade may replace xbase, which requires shutting down xdm and that will completely disconnect you from your xterm and interrupt the upgrade process. In general, it is best to run dselect only from a text console. Hope this helps and keep asking the list if you have difficulties, usually the answers are quick and helpful. Carlo *** *Carlo U.

core when running C++ programs..
Hello all!
I'm having a weird problem compiling anything with the C++ libraries.
When I try to run the program, I always get the message:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Just to give an example, for instance if I compile the following
program I get this core dump:
main.cc:
int main()
{
return 0;
}
Now, clearly, this as simple as you can get. If I compile it as
follows it works fine:
gcc -o main main.cc
But, then the program core dumps if I compile it with any of the
following:
g++ -o main main.cc
or
gcc -o main main.cc -lg++
or
gcc -o main main.cc -lstdc++
Using gdb and running the program I get:
gdb
(gdb) file main
Reading symbols from main...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/rdanse/main
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x400b655b in getenv ()
(gdb)
I would just like to point out that this is a new install of
Debian 1.3 using the unstable stream (which I don't have problems
with on another machine right now) which was downloaded yesterday
from ftp.debian.org. I have tried re-downloading libg++27-dev
and libg++27 and reinstalling it but this didn't fix anything.
Any ideas of what the problem would be or how I would better
trace down what the problem is?
Cheers!
Richard..

The problem for me has been the ethernet card. If I pulled it out the boot continued properly. In my case, I needed to have the ehternet card in order to complete the NFS install so I had to workaround by compiling a kernel with the ethernet drivers included rather than loaded as modules. Then, I had to play around with the ethernet card I/O address in some cases. Anyway, since you have a CDROM version, I would suggest that you remove the ethernet and sound cards and see if the installation can be done. Then you can build some custom kernels and try reinstalling the cards to see if the hangups are avoided. One other point that comes to mind looking at your list above. Most Soundblasters use 2 interrupts for the sound and perhaps another for the CDROM. You list only one and the others might be sitting at 10 and preventing you from getting past the boot sequence. Try removing the sound card first. Hope this helps, Carlo *** *Carlo U.

Re: help with perl
Hi,
The pattern you have is:
//.*riddler.com/Commonwealth/bin/statdeploy.* //www.taz.net.au/blank_ad.gif
However, on adding printing to your script, I discovered the
key came out to be:
DEBUG key = //.*riddler.com/commonwealth/bin/statdeploy.*
See? the capitalization is lost.
I think in sendmail, all input is supposed to be case
insensitive. The manual page for makemap says:
-f Normally all upper case letters in the key are folded to low
er case. This flag disables that behaviour. This is intend
ed to mesh with the -f flag in the K line in sendmail.cf.
The value is never case folded.
I am enclosing the current version of your script that I have
hacked; please note the advanced software engineering techniques for
debugging, namely, use printf statements ;-)
Hope this helps.

Re: IP-Accounting HOWTO?
But is it possible to exclude traffic based on source and/or destination IP separately? What we'd like to do is exclude any traffic where BOTH source and destination are local, and record all other traffic (e.g. for international traffic billing, where if either source or dest are non-local we want it counted, but not otherwise). My reading of the docs gave me the impression that one could exclude traffic involving certain nets but it wasn't fussy about what else the traffic involved...see what I'm getting at? NACCTD won't do that for you as far as I know It's quite a hack, but why don't you just run a cron job to process the file and strip out the information you don't want? i.e. set up a list of addresses and run matches against the source address. If true, then run match against dest address. If true, then discard line, move to next Then, run your report script against the massaged data that only contains contact with outside world Of course, what I've done to get around this is to run IPX as my LAN protocol and only use IP for internet traffic. Then, there is no local IP traffic to be logged Later, Kevin Traas Systems Analyst Edmondson Roper CA http://www.eroper.bc.ca -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: 486SX33 -- 486DX2-66
Currently Intel is the only manufacturer selling 5v 486 chips. It *should* be a straight drop-in, no jumper changes required. A *very* old motherboard *could* have a problem supplying enough current for the doubled chip. But I haven't seen that happen yet, and I've upgraded a number of machines. There might be a problem with the motherboard going from SX to DX, depending on the chipset on the motherboard. But, again, unlikely. For the $40 these chips are going for it's worth trying. Cyrix and AMD make 486DX2s but they are 3 volt. This would require changing motherboard jumpers, if your motherboard supports 3v chips. Either way, if you're going to max out an old box you might want to do it reasonably soon; 486 pinout chips and 30 pin SIMMs will soon be history.

Problems configuring fetchmail
My current system is debian 1.2.4. I use smail version 3.2-3 as my MTA and popclient version 3.05-3 to retrieve mail. I have installed bo on a separate partition.

nfs-booting with a null-modem cable ?
I'd like to set up my PPro to enable my 486 to boot nfs. looking at mknfsroot, this should be possible and perhaps easy with eth cards. But I only have a null-modem cable. Is it still possible ? with what packages? Other possibilities would be: -getting 2 more netcards -installing linux on a small partition (I would not need X). But it's probably more fun the complicated way. other: I could get an 2nd IP address or use masquerading. I think a 2nd IP is easier, and we still have some on the subnet. Any comments ?

Re: Form Debian 1.2 to Debian 1.3, How?
On Mon, 26 May 1997, Carlo U. Segre wrote: This is correct except for 2 specific upgrades which will require manual intervention. I am not sure what the plan is for the final upgrade instructions but this is what I had to do. The first is the removal of the 'modules' package and the installation of the replacement 'modutils' package. In order to remove the old 'modules' package, it will be necessary to recompile the kernel (get the source package and the 'make-kpkg' package for this) WITHOUT module support. This means that as you do the confuguration of the kernel, you will have to compile in all the important drivers or else you will not have them. Once the new kernel is installed, you can reboot and proceed to dselect. NOTE: I consider this a serious flaw in the upgrade process, since it requires someone to know how to compile a kernel to do it. It might be bette to provide a kernel-image package just for this purpose and then another for after the upgrade is finished. The second is the replacement of TeX in the 1.2 version with the new teTeX distribution. The new distribution WILL not install unless you have manually removed all of the packages pertaining to the old Tex distribution. Fortunately, the scripts tell you what to do and what must be removed using the 'dpkg' command. Unfortunately, I have encountered cases where is is not trivial to force the removal of the old packages. I have had to go in and modify the latex.prerm script. This is again something that an inexperienced installer would have difficulty figuring out alone. I do not know if this is because I had a relatively old installation so I have not reported it as a bug. I will be doing further installations and upgrades soon so I will try to see if this is a consistent problem. The above two problems are no longer current problems with the 1.3 distribution. Both modutils and the new tetex packages install without problems. The tetex package will require the old tex packages to be purged before it can be installed (this is not an upgrade in the usual sense). Modutils upgrades just fine now.

alien, xfree86, and other bugs
alien 5.1 - 5.2 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin alien (5.2) unstable; urgency=low * Turns out alien has been broken for processing slackware packages since version 3.0. It was leaving an /install directory behind. Fixed this. Joey, why did you upload only to hamm? Why do you think it is OK to have broken package in what is even not yet Debian 1.3 and considered to be the most stable? And this is not only you who are used to doing this. In my opinion, this is WRONG. All bug fixes MUST also go to stable (and this is especailly true for frozen). What this means to me is that I have look through all those debian-installer messages and make a note what packages in unstable have to be used instead of stable counterparts. But this is not the worst thing. With alien which is actually in binary-all/ this is fine. But what can I do with packages which are already use libc6? I don't want to install libc6 because I want to have worry-free possibility to use commercial developmental suits like Motif and XRT PDS. (They use libc5 and I think won't have the upgrade for libc6 available for a long time, and if they will - it costs money!) And another thing, in the recent discussion on debian-devel about coming Xfree86 release, I noticed that ALL known bugs are either fixed or documented. Well, I myself filed a bug to Xfree86 team like a month ago. Their SVGA server messed up with fonts in my NCR77C22E card so that screen became unusable after turning off the server or switching to tty virtual console (I found a workaround- to run svgatextmode to load font, but that's very inconvenient). Except for automatic bug acknowledgment reply I didn't get anything from them. Do you think this bug will be fixed (or at least documented)?
